Lu, beloved Homosassa Springs hippo, dies at 65
The Brief Lu, a hippo who spent more than 60 years in Citrus County, has died. He was brought to Homosassa Springs in 1964 and appeared in various movies and TV shows. Park officials say Lu will be "deeply missed and forever remembered." HOMOSASSA SPRINGS, Fla. - Lu, a hippopotamus who spent more than 60 years at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, has died, park officials announced late Sunday. The backstory According to the state park's official website, Lu was born at the San Diego Zoo on Jan. 26, 1960, and was brought to Homosassa Springs in 1964. Lu gained popularity in the 1960s as an actor with the Ivan Tors Animal Actors troupe, appearing in various movies and TV series. He was also known for what park officials described as "his calm presence and gentle personality that endeared him to generations of Floridians and visitors alike." What they're saying A statement from the park reads, in part: "For more than 60 years, Lu was not just an animal in the park; he was a friend, a fixture and a treasured member of the community. Children grew up visiting him, and many returned as adults with children of their own to say hello to the gentle giant. His legacy extends beyond his impressive lifespan — he represented the deep connection between people and the animals who inspire wonder, empathy and stewardship. Lu is survived in spirit by the devoted park rangers who cared for him, the millions of visitors whose lives he touched and the wildlife community he helped anchor. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered." Follow FOX 13 on YouTube The Source This story was written with information from Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.

Josie Totah Stars in New Episode of Cosmopolitan's Blind Date Video Seriees
If the latest episode of Blind Date is any indication, Josie Totah is quite the compelling dinner date. Our new celebrity interview series sends Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Willa Bennett on blind dates with stars like Reneé Rapp, Serena Page, and more. The best part? Willa starts the meals off blindfolded and has to guess who is joining her for dinner through a series of questions. And Josie—who stars in the Apple TV+ series The Buccaneers–chose to use her date as a forum to share her many hot (but valid) takes on dating at large, including but not limited to: why the proposition of hiking date should be taken as a threat, the one astrological sign she'd never date, and the one co-star she would. Cosmo also got a mini-breakdown of the TikTok heard around the world, in which Josie shared a kiss with her friend and former co-star Karan Brar. (You cannot fault fans for getting excited about that.) Watch the episode above to hear what Josie has to say on that matter, among other things.
